It is with great joy that I can write that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of seventy million Biafran people, has left Kuje prison in Abuja, Nigeria on bail granted on health grounds. Although the bail conditions initially seemed insurmountable, and are purported to be written by none other than Islamic Hausa President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, the Indigenous People of Biafra found the wherewithal to meet all requirements including flying in an esteemed Rabbi to vouch for Nnamdi. The three other pro-Biafra prisoners, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu, and David Nwawuisi were not granted bail on the charges of treasonable felony and criminal defamations.

"The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has condemned the bail conditions granted its incarcerated leader, Nnamdi Kanu by Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court. IPOB, in a statement signed and sent to DAILY POST by its spokespersons claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari wrote the bail conditions and handed them over to Justice Nyako who read them in court."

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had to meet the following bail terms:

“Produce three sureties and two of whom must be; (a) highly respected and recognized Jewish leader and (b) highly placed Igbo person such as a Senator. The third surety must be resident in Abuja with a landed property in the same Abuja. Above all, the three sureties must deposit one hundred million naira (N100 Million) each.

“Barred from attending any rally and granting any form of interview.

“Must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 persons.

“Must surrender his British and Nigerian passports even when these passports are still in the custody of the DSS.

“Must sign an undertaking to avail himself for trial at all times.”

I can only imagine Nnamdi Kanu's first evening free to be with his family!
